“In 1965, drawing from that insight (DuBois), and inspired by the Civil Rights movement, Theodore W. Allen began a forty-year analysis of “white skin privilege”, “white race” privilege, and “white” privilege in a call he drafted for a “John Brown Commemoration Committee” that urged “White Americans who want government of the people” and “by the people” to “begin by first repudiating their white skin privileges”.[17] The pamphlet, “White Blindspot”, containing one essay by Allen and one by Noel Ignatin (Noel Ignatiev), published in the late 1960s, focused on the struggle against “white skin privilege” and significantly influenced the Students for a Democratic Society and sectors of the New Left. By June 15, 1969, the New York Times was reporting that the National Office of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) was calling “for an all-out fight against ‘white skin privileges’”.[18] In 1974–1975 Allen extended his analysis to the colonial period with “Class Struggle and the Origin of Racial Slavery: The Invention of the White Race” in 1974/1975,[19] which ultimately grew into his two-volume “The Invention of the White Race” in 1994 and 1997.[20]”

Aah -- roots in Dubois (no pun intended).

That's all we need -- ANY more of '60s politics and dirty hippies enforcing their LSD-induced Marxism 50 years later. Why don't the two Hags -- Hitlery and Warren -- demonstrate their "authenticity" by touring the county in a beat up VW bus?

Particularly disturbing that it's come to fruition in academic circle to mainstream:

“John Brown Commemoration Committee” that urged “White Americans who want government of the people” and “by the people” to “begin by first repudiating their white skin privileges”

And then junk science screwing us again:

( “The Invention of the White Race” in 1994 and 1997.")
